b. The weaknesses when KWL technique is applied in teaching reading

Analyzing the data, the researcher found some weaknesses when KWL is applied in teaching reading. They are: 1 students with no prior knowledge about a particular topic will get difficulty to fill the K column. To fill the K column, students must have background knowledge about the topic given to them. The problem will occur if they don’t have ones. From the result of field notes, it was clear that the students failed to fill the column because they did not have any background information related to the topic. The collaborator wrote Siswa banyak yg tidak tahu siapa itu Mahatma Gandhi sehingga guru yang banyak berperan didalam mengisi kolom K. A student said, “ Terkadang susah untuk mengisi kolom K, apala gi kalau topik yang asing.” Another one said , “ Menulis dikolom pertama agak susah.” ; 2 KWL is not suitable for readers who have low thinking level and poor memory. The collaborator wrote in his field note, siswa juga masih bingungkesulitan untuk mengisi hal apa yg mereka ingin ketahui sehingga guru banyak bertanya ut menggiring siswa membuat pertanyaan. He also wrote, Siswa masih berpikir untuk mengisi kolom K dalam bentuk kalimat dan ini agak menyusahkan mereka. Ada info2 yang kurang tepat ketika mengisi kolom K ; 3 the process takes time. From the result of the field notes, especially for the cycle 1, it showed that the researcher did not enough commit to user time to give reflection because the time was up. As one student said, Cuma masalah prosesnya yang memakan waktu. Terus agak ribet juga isi-isi kolom .” Another student said, “ Tapi sepertinya mengisi kolom-kolom itu memakan waktu, sir. itu saja.” The collaborator said, “ Yes, the time is not enough and this is quite disappointing. The process in filling the columns takes much time. If we had more time, it would be better.” ; 4 KWL is not appropriate for reading fiction materials. The process of KWL requires the students to have prior knowledge. It is impossible for the students to have background knowledge about fiction materials.
